1. Choose USB tether mode
Open SET UP > CONNECTION SETTING > CONNECTION MODE and choose USB TETHER SHOOTING AUTO, not USB CARD READER.
2. Stop charging from the phone
Set USB POWER SUPPLY SETTING to OFF; Fujifilm warns ON can block data transfer. X-T3 has no such item.
3. Turn off Bluetooth
In Bluetooth/SMARTPHONE SETTING set Bluetooth ON/OFF to OFF so the camera cannot auto-upload shots to a paired phone.
4. Turn off auto power off
Set SET UP > POWER MANAGEMENT > AUTO POWER OFF to OFF; Fujifilm says it still applies while tethered.
5. Plug the camera into the phone
Insert a card with free space, switch the camera off, plug the USB-C cable straight into the phone, then switch on.
6. Choose VowPix and tap OK
If Android asks which app should open the camera, pick VowPix and tick Always (never Files or Gallery). Then tap OK to allow USB access.
